Design Source - Description | Inspired by what I saw in Albuquerque a few years ago, I made this table runner, "Turquoise Dreams" which features turquoise flowers on rusty brown background blocks. The flowers have a dimensional appearance thanks to the ability to free motion couch using the #43 Bernina free motion cording foot, and complimentary and beautiful hand-dyed yarn (from Mountain Colors Company in Montana). There is heavy thread accents using Razzle Dazzle in the bobbin work of satin stitching and straight stitching for the flower center accents. This runner also features beading by machine, and the use of several different free motion quilting motifs, and multiple decorative and variegated threads like King Tut and Glitter from Superior Threads. |
